Pros

-After several years of much needed change in the CEO position, we finally have the right person in charge...a person with a vision, who is respected by his employees, who (in just 6 weeks) has already gone out into the surrounding area to build/start relationships with other industry leaders, and most importantly, has partnered with and is working hand-in-hand with the owner in order to create a happy, healthy workplace while achieving the vision of creating a company that is a benefit to not only our community, but the world. -A huge pro for me is the flexibility in time off and the ability to work from home. Whether its an extended vacation, or you just need a day to work in the comforts of home, management is more than happy to acquiesce your requests. -The environment has changed somewhat, for the better in my opinion. We are more focused and all have rallied behind the new CEO's vision, something that was impossible before with the old regime. We still have a fun, relaxed (yet, go get 'em) environment that allows each employee to reach their full potential. -Hardly a day goes by in which I don't learn or new skill or technique. A credit to the minds that the company has retained and the opportunities to attend conferences and/or webinars -We're not too strict on dress code. Come to work each day in what you're comfortable, and if you're comfortable, you're happy...if you're happy, you work hard...if you work hard, you achieve goals...you achieve goals, everyone makes money -Health insurance and dental/vision plans are premium. They are 100% covered by the company. -I've been here for going on 4 years, and these last 2 months have been the most happy and confident I've felt about the company and the future for the company in my time here.

Cons

-The past has left its mark. And there's a long road to hoe to get to where we want to go. But our new leadership has the business acumen, industry knowledge, desire, and resources to lead us there.

Pros

Good people. It's as simple as that. Hive Digital is an incredibly unique and well run agency. The focus on working with mission driven companies bleeds into every area of the business. How management deals with employees. How employees deal with each other. How employees deal with clients. The kind of clients that Hive Digital works with. The kinds of clients that Hive Digital refuses to work with. A diverse roster of clients in different industries but with similar problems presents a fun assortment of projects to work on.

Cons

Very hard to think of any legitimate cons when it comes to Hive Digital.

Pros

Co-Workers help make it a really fun place to work. Nerf cubicle battles occur often. Free soda, snacks and candy (so much candy) Free lunches sometimes (if you catch the invite, usually the same group of people goes) Some of the work is considered white hat SEO

Cons

Very low pay for majority for most employees that aren't 'Executives' Lack of knowledge and leadership in regards to two of the four 'Executives' Layoffs happen often enough that they have a nickname (The purge 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0) Problems that led to each round of layoffs have either not been addressed at all or have been addressed very poorly. Leading to an environment that makes employees consistently worry about their job security. Free soda, snacks and candy. If you aren't cautious you will gain a noticeable amount of weight. Perks like free lunches that mostly benefits the executives didn't completely stop even when some employees are told that their paychecks might be delayed. A lot of the work is gray/black hat SEO.
